Abstract

Vehicle safety service can be effectively achieved with inter-vehicle communication technologies, in which moving vehicles transmit a safety related urgency information such as traffic accidents, sudden stops, obstacle appearance etc. They usually utilize a broadcast of message propagation method because the communicating vehicles are not known each other. The pure broadcasting scheme does not satisfy the requirements of vehicle safety communication service due to the transmission delay with frequent message collisions. To resolve this problem, this paper presents a group based propagation method for the multi-hop transmission, in order to deliver an urgency message to the reasonable size of vehicle troop. A group header is elected in considering of the position information of vehicles and radio transmission range. And a vehicle equivalent group is formed with the header. With benefits of the group based transmission, it is possible to minimize the unnecessary transmission and the possibility of message collisions. Simulation results show that the message propagation performance is so stable regardless of vehicle's congestion degree.

도로를 주행하는 차량들 사이에서 사고, 긴급정지, 장애물 출현 등의 안전과 관련된 긴급정보를 전송하는 차량 간 통신기술은 차량안전통신서비스의 기반이 된다. 차량안전통신은 상호 연계성이 없는 차량들 사이에서 운용되기 때문에 브로드캐스트 형태의 전파방법을 사용한다. 순수 브로드캐스팅 서비스를 사용했을 때는 잦은 메시지 충돌과 그에 따르는 전송 지연으로 차량안전통신 서비스의 요구사항을 만족하지 못한다. 본 논문에서는 차량안전통신의 요구사항을 만족하는 다중홉 전송을 위하여 그룹 기반 전송방법을 제안한다. 차량의 위치정보와 무선전송범위를 고려하여 그룹헤더를 선출하고, 그 헤더를 중심으로 같은 전송범위 안의 차량들을 차량동위그룹으로 묶는다. 헤더에 의해서만 긴급메시지를 전파함으로써 불필요한 전송을 최소화하고 메시지 충돌의 가능성 낮춘다. 차량동위그룹을 적용하면 차량 밀집도에 상관없이 거의 일정한 긴급메시지 전파 성능을 보인다.
